' Y My inventionrelatesin general to an im proved window pole and more specifically to animproved type of pole having certain features of improvement in-design which render the'new pole moreuseful and less liableto cause damage to window glass in opening?* I "lowersurface ofho k'7. Into these slots'la-re inserted the endsof-a spring 13', each end 1 *of the spring 13 being bent outward'andthus ehelddnpositiohand; its tension normally tending- "tohold :the :hook 7 in the position shown :i-nufull lines'inFig; 1. 1 This permits .Ethe hook 7to move backward were position lsho wn in dotted. lines when pressed against and closing.

V I The mainfeatureof thefinvention istof provide a pivoted'metal hook on the end'of the pole whichis normally held in operative position by a spring-and which spring gives a, cushion efiect sovthat the metal hook will not as readily cause glass breakage. The pivoted "hook in its normal position 15 may bereadily hooked over a moldinghook or like prO ection in order to hang up the hookwhen not in use, and dueto its pivot and r the spring cushion, recedes to a position where it is more useful in opening a'window.

Further features and vobjects will-beapparent from the following detailed descriptionin which reference may behad to the ac-f 'companying sheet of drawings.

,. Fig.1 1s a side view of the improved window pole withcertain' parts cut away to more clearly illustrate the same.

I ,Fig. 5 isa detailview from the top with the hook removed "showingthe position of Referring to Fig. ll'have disclosed a metal head ,1 havinga socketatthelower end into which a woodhandle 2 is inserted and riveted by a metalrivet 3. On the'head 40 1 is a projecting rim 4 which supports arubber cushion 5. V This rim 4 is longer in the front to prevent breakage ofwindows in use.

Above the rim 4.. area pair [of lugs 6into 1 I e which is inserted a metal hook 7 which is a formed in the shape'of a "goose neck, the

The hook 7 is pivoted to lugs'6 by means of aj rivet 1( andFhasali-mited movement back: a

one]for'useiiuhanigingfup the pole and the other for operating the window the spring 13 acts as a cushion for the hook 7 so that in attempting to operate a window if this 7 metal hook should accidentally strike the with such force as if the hook were fixed.

The wooden handle 2 shown broken away t in Figs. land 2 may be of any desired length or size asconditions require. It will also be understood thatany type of spring may be 'used'to hold the hook in iplace'of spring 13,

such expedients as. coil springs or leaf springs being well known and'spring 13 being shown 7 Having thus fully described the features and objects of my invention, what I consider to be new and desire to have protected by Letters Patent will be pointed out in the appended claims. i a w r What is claimed is: V

1. A windowepole comprising a handle, a metalhead'on one-end thereof, a metal. hook 10 v pivoted on said metal head, and a springnon mally'maintaining said hook in forward position'.

2. A window pole comprising a wood,

handle, a metal head secured to one end of the handle, a pair of lugs on the head, a goose neck metal hook riveted between saidlugs 1 and having limited movement forward and a backward, 7

i 8. :A win'dow. pole comprising a wood handle ametalehead. on one end of the handle, airidge of metal extending outward. around said head,:a rubberbumper mounted onsaid r f ridge, aametal? hook riveted' to said headv and having limited forward and backward 'iin'ovem'ent I A; I A 'window pole comprising a woodhandle; a'metaliheadon one end ofthe handle, a ridge of e metal extending outward around said-head,- a'rubberlbumper mounted on said ridgei metal hook riveted to said head and having 'a limited forward and backward ,inOVeme'Iit,andajspring for maintaining" the I i hook in its-forward position normally.
